The next morning Aladdin and Abu are having breakfast when he spots a beautiful girl. All the same, Aladdin keeps faith that he will someday be rich and live in a palace. Discouraged, Aladdin and Abu head for home as night falls. Aladdin is kicked into the mud and insulted by the prince. Later Aladdin spots other citizens watching a snooty prince heading for the castle as a suitor for the beautiful Princess Jasmine and defends the orphans as they are nearly whipped for running in front of his horse. When Aladdin first appears, he has stolen a loaf of bread, and after outwitting and escaping the guards with the help from Abu, the two generously hand their earned food to two young orphans.

He spends most of his days escaping the guards. However, he has shown the ability to learn from his mistakes and will do everything in his power to make up for it.Īladdin is a street rat scraping for food with his pet monkey and sidekick, Abu. He initially acted arrogantly but came to realize that this performance was only angering Jasmine. While courting Jasmine under the guise of Prince Ali, he constantly lied about his true identity, feeling that Jasmine would not accept him as he was. Unfortunately, this works against him on such occasions when he helps people like Iago and Cassim, forcing him to deceive Jasmine and the palace guards.Īladdin is not without flaws. His concern for others helped him meet Jasmine and, later, reunite him with his father. Aladdin's simple upbringing has taught him to cherish all that he has, especially those close to him.

Aladdin's resourcefulness often shows in his ability to easily steal food for him and Abu, but he will often offer it to others less fortunate and reprimand Abu if the monkey tries to take more than they need. His heroism is often demonstrated by his selfless acts and his determination to rescue Jasmine whenever she needs his help. He is referred to in the first film as a 'diamond in the rough', with his true worth hidden beneath his street-rat exterior. In the third movie, he wears a similar wardrobe that includes shoes.Īladdin is cheery, clever, trustworthy, bold, loving, generous, and resourceful. Whereas as a prince, he has a white turban and clothing and Arab style shoes.

As a thief he is shirtless with only a purple vest, white pants with a yellow patch, a brown belt and a crimson fez, and he's also barefoot. She meets Aladdin as she is only out in the city streets to see for herself what everyday life is like for her people, not just due to her wanting to flee the stifling nature of the palace.Aladdin is a handsome, slender, slightly muscular young man with black hair and brown eyes. The animated Jasmine argued for her independence in choosing her husband, the live-action version is much more concerned with knowing her people in Agrabah and being in touch with their hopes and desires. While the Disney animated version of Princess Jasmine was rebellious and refused to conform to social structure by having her father the Sultan decide who she married, there is a more political being with Scott's version. Starring Mena Massoud as Aladdin and Will Smith as the Genie, you'd expect them to rule the roost of the film, but actually it's Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine that takes that crown in more ways that one. The film from Guy Ritchie is now out in cinemas and we described it as 'full of fun, excitement and glorious songs' in our glowing review of the film. Princess Jasmine is about to take the spotlight in the new live-action version of Disney's Aladdin.
